When developing our products, occupational safety is always our top priority. Where can dangerous situations arise and where do machines pose a safety risk? The DGUV’s “Safety Requirements for Tripod and Hanging Agitators” serve as a guide in the area of ​​stirring technology.

The DGUV states: “There is currently no European harmonized work equipment-specific standard for tripod and hanging agitators. However, since agitators with very different levels of safety are offered on the market, safety concepts were developed in an exchange of experiences between manufacturers, operators, professional associations and associations that do not provide any incentives to bypass protective devices and ensure safe machines using state-of-the-art technology.” (Source: Safety requirements for tripod and hanging agitators, DGUV, https://publikationen.dguv.de/widgets/pdf/download/article/3515)

Here are the possible dangerous situations according to the DGUV and our solution:

Sometimes the implementation of the above conditions leads to conflicts with the stirring task. For example, the container should remain open or the addition flap should not be closed by a safety grid. Here we can install a secure access area with protective fences and sensors to still make the agitator 100% safe.
